       Title: Braised Turkey Drumsticks W-Hot Cranberry Sauce
  Categories: Poultry, Sauces, Fruit, Chilies
       Yield: 2 servings

       1 tb Olive oil
       2    Turkey drumsticks *
            Salt & Ground black pepper
       1    Rib celery; chopped
       1    Shallot; chopped
       1 c  Chicken or turkey broth
       1 tb All-purpose flour

MMMMM--------------------HOT CRANBERRY SAUCE-------------------------
       1 tb Butter
       1    Jalapeno pepper; cored,
            -seeded and minced
       1    Rib celery; trimmed and
            -diced
       2 tb To 3 tb brown sugar
   1 1/2 c  Fresh cranberries
            Juice of 1 orange (abt 3 tb)

   Melt butter in a medium pot. Add the jalapeno and celery; saute over
   medium-high heat for 2 minutes or until tender. Add 2 tablespoons
   brown sugar, cranberries and orange juice. Bring to a boil. Reduce
   heat to medium and cook until the berries pop and the mixture
   thickens and forms a sauce, about 5 to 10 minutes, stirring
   constantly. Taste before removing from heat. If the sauce isn't
   hot-sweet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon brown sugar. Cook for 1
   minute to dissolve the sugar.

   Heat oil in a Dutch oven. Season turkey with salt and pepper to taste.
   Add turkey, celery and shallot to the Dutch oven. Brown turkey on all
   sides over medium-high heat, stirring the vegetables occasionally to
   prevent burning. Transfer turkey to a plate; pour off any fat and
   discard. Add broth to the Dutch oven; stir, scraping up any browned
   bits. Return turkey to the Dutch oven, reduce the heat to low and
   cover. Simmer turkey for 1 1/2 hours, turning after 45 minutes.
   Remove turkey to a serving platter; cover with foil to keep warm.

   Place flour in a cup. Stir in 2 tablespoons of the cooking liquid,
   making a paste. Stir the paste into the remaining cooking liquid;
   simmer for 2 to 3 minutes or until the gravy is slightly thickened.
   Serve turkey with gravy and Hot Cranberry Sauce.

   * Tester's note: Fresh turkey legs usually come three to a package. If
   you cook all three, you may want to increase the amount of celery and
   shallot, but the 1 cup of broth will be sufficient.

   Yield: 2 servings.
